Apologies for cross-posting.
The MLAnet posting for Yale's senior Reference Librarian for Nursing position
is online: http://www.mlanet.org/jobs/jobs_al_ga.html#CT
This position that works closely with a dynamic Nursing School Dean and world-
class faculty. For instance, Professor Helen Varney Burst's recently published
fourth edition of Varney's Midwifery, (with Jan M. Kriebs and Carolyn L.
Gregor) has been recognized as "the most valuable text of 2003" and awarded the
2003 Book of the Year Award by the American Journal of Nursing (AJN).
The Yale School of Nursing offers a master's program with nurse practitioner,
clinical nurse specialist, and nurse-midwifery specialties. The Graduate Entry
Prespecialty in Nursing (GEPN) is designed to provide graduate-level nursing
education for those who hold baccalaureate degrees, but who have no previous
nursing education. Post master's certification is available in six areas,
including acute care nurse practitioner, adult nurse practitioner,
gerontological nurse practitioner, pediatric nurse practitioner, and oncology
nurse practitioner. The Doctor of Nursing program extends the theoretical base
of nursing through empirical investigation generated by independent,
collaborative, and multidisciplinary research efforts.
A fundamental benefit of this position is full integration into the
professional and colleagial environment of the Yale University Library and the
Cushing/Whitney Medical Library. For instance, the previous Librarian for
Nursing assumed University-wide leadership on SFX database implementation and
support. The benefit to the School of Nursing was unambiguously clear.
We will be happy to conduct personal interviews at the MLA annual meeting.
Please let your colleagues know about this opportunity.
